In any case, that is a very hard book to read, not for language but for the ubiquitous uncertainty. If what the girls do the bunnies and then men is « real » in the diegesis and not Samantha’s fancy, then the book is also a denunciation of cults in schools. A cult? A creepy bookĪltogether, the book is really creepy and as I said, the descriptions of murder and extremely gore and detailed in my opinion. However, that is merely a hypothesis but I put it out there, « just in case ».

I have no proper word, it just gets « mad ».Īs there is a scene in the bus in which Samantha sees a woman suffering from schizophrenia and describes her very vividly in her head, I have come to think that MAYBE she did suffer from it as well and had created that projection in the bus to tell the reader that she was unreliable. 1 Her debut book, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, a novel (structured using linked short stories) about a womans lifelong struggle with body image issues, 2 won the Amazon.ca First Novel Award 3 and was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize in 2016. The book is divided into 3 parts and the first one is rather « normal » aka not supernatural at all, but the second one is just… a thing. Mona Awad is a Canadian novelist and short-story writer. Maybe the things described do not really happen but trigger warning here: there are vivid descriptions of murder described in a very light manner that can be very surprising and hard to stand. There are so many weird things happening in the book that I am not sure I have understood what I read but listening to reviews on YouTube, I think I have at least understood the same thing as other booktubers/bloggers.
